She-Hulk Vol. 4: Laws of Attraction



The 4th volume of the collected She-Hulk just came out a couple of weeks ago. It has many an emotional rollercoaster as Jen Walters and She-Hulk are pulled in two different directions. Plus, that crappy Civil War event invades She-Hulk’s storyline and Dan Slott seems to make something interesting out of yet another crossover comic book fiasco. Plus, those Greg Horn Man-Wolf covers are to die for.

From Marvel’s website:
She-Hulk’s firm is dealing with their first superhuman sexual assault case. Their client? Eros of Titan, the space-faring Avenger called Starfox! And when emotions get over-heated at the office, expect a love triangle or two to finally come to a head! What will this mean for Pug, She-Hulk and John Jameson? Who (or what) is Awesome Andy falling for?! And what will be the final fate of Starfox? Will he face ruin or redemption? One way or another, the case against the fallen Avenger ends on the moon of Titan! Plus: Civil War threatens the rights of every American super hero. So whose side will Marvel’s top superhuman lawyer fight for? And how can she possibly choose, when she feels one way as She-Hulk, and another as Jen Walters? Collecting SHE-HULK #6-13.
192 PGS./Rated T+ …$19.99

She-Hulk in Wonder Women


I came across the book Wonder Women by Lillian Robinson today. It looks at the history of female superheroes with a feminist perspective. You can read excerpts with She-Hulk if you go to google books and search for Lillian Robinson and She-Hulk. From her perspective She-Hulk is less a role model for female empowerment and sisterhood but rather simply about raw female power. I coulda’ told her that. As this book came out in 2004 the sections on She-Hulk are about the Savage and Sensational versions and the transition between the two rather than the current series by Dan Slott. Seeing as how Lillian Robinson died in September of 2006 this book won't ever be updated, and that is too bad. I’d have liked to see her insights on the new She-Hulk series.
